"I think this proves I am a lawyer"...but I do have to point out that some of these words are not actually English, and so the rule would not apply...(I hate myself)

hmmmmm.. why cuz I use the word Lei for example which IS a Hawaiian word... EXCEPT all of these words are in the english dictionary........

They may have become part of colloquial english, but they are of hawaiian, french and german origin...I suppose one could argue that english is actually a teutonic language as is german....but you're shit out of luck on heir et. al. and lei, my dear.
